What is the best time and duration for running?

Running is a sport that I like very much. Running can exercise our body and mind very well. It can not only relax our body and mind, but also make our body stronger. So what is the best time and duration for running? How long should we run? Next, let me introduce the best time and duration for running to you. Everyone should study hard.

From 5pm to 8pm, physical strength and endurance are at their peak of the day. It is the best time to exercise, which will achieve very good results and is very beneficial to sleep. From 1am to 4am, most organs of the human body slow down or stop working. This is the time we can fully rest, muscles completely relax, blood pressure, blood supply to the brain, and pulse will slowly decrease.

Between 5 and 7 in the morning, the body begins to wake up. Getting up at this time will quickly make you feel energetic, especially at 7 o'clock, when the secretion of adrenal cortex hormone reaches its peak and the immune function is strengthened, which is very suitable for exercise. From 8 am to 12 noon is the time when the nerves are most excited, and the memory, heart, and enthusiasm are all in the best condition, so this period is suitable for work, study or travel, but not for exercise. From 1pm to 4pm, especially in spring and summer, people are prone to fatigue and sleepiness. It is best to rest at this time and not do strenuous exercise after lunch. Around 10 o'clock in the evening, your body temperature begins to drop, sleepiness will slowly come over you, and your body functions tend to a low ebb, making it unsuitable for strenuous exercise.

If the purpose is to lose weight or to increase memory of motor skills, the morning is very good. When people wake up in the morning, they have almost consumed most of the energy they ate last night. If they exercise without eating at this time, it will lead to one result - "burning" fat. Because the energy is gone in the morning, there is still some glycogen in the liver. When the concentration of this glycogen drops to a certain level, fat "burning" will become the dominant energy supply, making weight loss possible. Therefore, morning exercise has special benefits for weight loss and preventing and treating fatty liver. In addition, it is easier to master aerobics, ballroom dancing, Tai Chi... any skill in the morning than at other times.

Therefore, in a sense, the health benefits of exercising in the morning are greater. The ancients believed in "getting up and dancing upon hearing the cock-crow" and generally chose to exercise in the morning. As for the high carbon dioxide content in the morning air and serious pollution, this is not the main reason. In fact, pollution from car exhaust and other sources during the day is also very serious, and can also release lead, heavy metals and some chemical wastes, such as benzene. High blood pressure in the morning can be adjusted with medication. Therefore, when is the best time to exercise? It is not absolute. It also depends on the person. Whether you exercise in the morning or in the afternoon, exercise should be moderate. As far as health is concerned, it is effective to start exercising at any age. If you have time, exercise more; if you don’t have time, exercise less. Just move, even if it’s just one move or one posture.

After reading the above information about the best time and duration for running, do you understand it? If you really want to exercise well, you should read the above knowledge carefully. When running, you should still wear loose clothes and suitable shoes to let your body run in the most relaxed posture.
